. This invention relates to acombihed hold i er, guard and sterilizingtray for hair clippers, hereinafterreferred to as tray, especiallydesigned to'make the clippers easily protect themfrom possiblemechanical damage while not'in use and to completely sterilize parts asrequired. 5 Y r The primary objectof the invention is to provide a trayof this character, so construct- 7 may be readily- 'The construction anddeed and designed, that clippers positioned therein."

sign of said tray is such as to causeithe clipv pers to be held securelyagainst accidental displacement, while stillleaving the clippers,

so held, freely and easilyaccessible' for use."

, fAnother object of the inventionis to'provide a tray of this characterI insulated against electric currents which may pass through clipperswhile supported the l%ith the foregoing and other obj ect s' .inf'view,"which willtappear as the description f proceeds, the inventionresides in the combi nation and arrangement of parts and in the detailsof construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being-understoodthat changes I in the precise embodiment of the; invention v hereindisclosed may. be made within the so scope of what is claimed, without"departing 1 from the spirit of the invention. 1

Referring to the drawing: Figure 1 is an elevational 7 constructed inaccordance with the invention; Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional viewthrough thetrayQ v i I Figure 3 is a plan view of the tray.

' Referring to the drawing ind tail, the tray comprises a bodyportionhaving side walls- 5 and 6 respectively, nd walls 7, and 8 respectively,and a'bottom wall 9. As-shown, the wall 5 issubstantiallywide so; that it will fit against a supporting surface in such a way asto insure the tray i movement; I

sary that the wall 5 be altered, extended, or iformed, as required,toallow of auniversality' of mounting, supporting and holding saidOpenings 10 are formed in the wall 5, and
